I have limits on how much I'm willing to feed into my love for sneakers though, and I don't ever seem to catch original Royals in my size within that range. As much as I hate to, I'll settle on this one.

A true sharpie pair is.... Sharpied.
If we were so serious about the love for the theme, then we could have easily made it happen ourselves a million times over. It's a $3 modification that any amateur can do.

OGs aren't a good look for wear anymore. Looks like the foam can crack and the suede upper definitely cracks bad. - not photod (Pic courtesy of a fellow NT MEMBER)
07s are def good but 11s hold their ground also.

You just need to be persistent and active in your search and you can get them for the right price.

those pictures pretty much confirms they're about to finish making the fufus or they're already done

But the 2011 royals are good quality and have 4 years newer materials. We dissected them when they dropped and the consensus was that they were very, very solid.

I did comparison pics back when i had the hoh, 2011, and 07 set ds. Now I just have he 07s used. Here is one of them

Very nice Not mad at those Jordan 2010s in the cut either.

It stems mostly from a preference in mold honestly. It's a subtle difference, but one that my eye always catches. I didn't know that the 2011s were given that stamp of approval though. If I see those for the low during my hunt, I might go ahead and bite then.

i just got the 11 royals and I agree they holdup very well to the 07's. I purposely decided not to buy the 07's and I got my 11's DS for a pretty good price. I would need another pair if I was going to Sharpie them myself and for the cost of that I could probably just buy the Nike ones.

This is another thing I consider. The only shoe I'd comfortably pick up from '96 at this point are Jordan XIs.

I'll give the hunt the necessary effort this summer though; I'm tired of not having Royals.

Can't go on that 2011 pair. I want to go Taiwanese on these.

I have the 97s. It would be scary to wear them too much. They're cool to have and display, but not much other than that.

I love the 07s. I grabbed 2 pair last year, each for less than 250. They're out there man. I beat up one pair a decent amount, and my 11s are looking solid still. Id like to grab a second pair of those as well

Those red foams are sitting. The gold foams were not a hard cop if you really wanted them. I think the fishermen foams will be hyped and heavily sought after though. But no foams I've seen lately have been a must add to my collection. I'm going to pass on the fishermen foams because I'm not going to try and find to match with them. The color is a casual once in a blue moon color you rock.
